Kinds of Patterns - also known as "section aurea" (Golden Section).
LOGIC Patterns - Ratio of two numbers a & b: a/b
- Observed first; involve classification before counting. - Ratio of their sum a+b to the larger number a: a+b/a
NUMBER Patterns - If these two ratios are equal, that number is φ
- Sequences formed by specific rules. Mathematical Language and Symbols
GEOMETRIC Patterns Language

number of elements.

Since n(A) = n(B), thus A~B. - Simple statement: Either T or F
E. SUBSET - Compound statement: Determined by the truth values

○ The proper subsets of A = {q, y, z} are game.
A = {{q},{y},{z},{q, y},{q, z},{y, z},{ }}. Compound Statements:

- Each element in the domain corresponds to only one → ~s ∨ r

Intuition, Proof, and Certainty Problem Solving Strategies
1. Translate words to symbols
Mathematical Intuition: Coming across a problem and using
logical instinct to pull out an answer without asking question
- Ex. If 5 persons meet at a reunion and each person
shakes hands exactly once with each others, what is
the total number of handshakes
5 5𝑥4
𝐶2 = 2
= 10
Proof: Logical argument that tries to show that a statement is
true 2. Working backwards
- Must be well though and thoroughly tested
Certainty: state of being definite or having no doubts about
something
2 ways to present proof
● Outline Form
If 5x + 3 = 33, then x = 6
5𝑥 + 3 = 33
5𝑥 + 3 − 3 = 33 − 3
5𝑥 30
5
= 5
3. Looking for a pattern
𝑥 = 6
Therefore, x = 6
● Paragraph Form
- Proposition: If P then Q
Assume P, (1), (2), (3). Therefore, Q.
